IIS Express Module

[djsmith Profile]

I'm trying to install the Blank Django Project as described in http://www.helicontech.com/articles/running-django-on-windows-with-performance-tests/, but it fails to install the IIS Express module. The error log shows:

DownloadManager Information: 0 : Starting EXE command for product 'Helicon Zoo Module for IIS Express'. Commandline is: 'C:\Windows\sysnative\msiexec.exe /i "C:\Users\djs\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer\installers\HeliconZooModuleForIISExpress\ea815379fb097c2bcbc33db73bff1ef5080d7a41\HeliconZoo_0034_express.msi" /qn ALLUSERS=1'. Process Id: 7160
DownloadManager Information: 0 : Install exit code for product 'Helicon Zoo Module for IIS Express' is 1603

I then tried to execute HeliconZoo_0034_express.msi installer file manually with logging enabled and I found these lines in the log:

Action 9:21:46: PublishProduct. Publishing product information
1: {AE2052FD-B361-4CBD-8393-C480409709B7}
Action 9:21:46: RegisterSchema.

After the error the log shows the install being rolled back. See the attached file for the full log.

I've tried disabling my Norton AV, and making sure I have admin rights.

I found this article indicating using javascript custom actions are a bad idea.

After all of this I do have (somehow) python and django installed as the command line python works and I can get the version number for the django project by executing;
>>> import django
>>> django.VERSION
(1, 3, 0, 'final', 0)

Also, the blank django project is installed in my WebProjects folder and I see it in the WebMatrix console. When I try to browse the site I get:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

So there is some problem with the web config (see attached), but I imagine that is because the IIS Express Module isn't installed.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan

Hello, Dan

Please check if you have JScript installed on the machine where you are trying to use Zoo.

Also, please check if you have UAC turned on, and if yes, try turning it off.

And finally, specify if you have any domain policies set up on the server.

I disabled UAC and re-registered jscript.dll, but I get the same result. As for the domain policies, is there anything specific I should look for? Note this is a Windows 7 x64 workstation that is joined to a domain, not a server.

Thanks
Dan

I tried installing the Blank Django Project on my home computer and got a similar error. This was on a Windows 7 workstation, jscript is working, IISExpress is already installed and working, UAC is disabled, virus scan was disabled during the install, and the box isn't part of a domain.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Dan

Hello, Dan

We've tried the same in our testing environment and it worked.
So, it would be better to arrange an online meeting or have Remote access to your machine to investigate it personally.

Please tell if it's possible, what timezone you are in, what time and date are suitable for you (starting Monday).
